How do I pre-pay for parking?

If I choose to ride my bicycle, where do I park?

Patrons can ride their bicycle and park in the GEICO garage, located at the corner of South Street and Hughey Avenue, for free. There are more than 170 secured bicycle lockers available for use.
 

Are there any street closures in Downtown?

The following streets will always be closed during Amway Center events:

  • Church Street between Hughey Avenue and Division Avenue - so that pedestrians may use this space pre and post events

Helpful tip: 80% of Orlando Magic season ticket holders are coming from the north or east and will likely use Interstate 4 and State Road 408.

Unless you have reserved parking at the GEICO garage or you plan to park in the CNL garage, please consider exiting Interstate 4 (from the east) at the SR 50 (Colonial Drive) exit and follow Hughey Avenue to access parking.

Patrons coming from the East on SR 408, take the WB 408 exit 11A at Rosalind Avenue and travel along South Street to your pre-payed/reserved parking spot.

Remember, to find directions from your home directly to a parking garage or lot, go to CityofOrlando.net, click on any green dot for pre-pay parking options and driving directions.
 

After I arrive at my parking space, how do I get to the Amway Center?

For the first time in Downtown, pedestrian wayfinding signs have been installed to assist in navigating Downtown streets. Most sidewalks leading up to the Amway Center are 15 feet wide and well lit.

You can locate the "Enhanced Pedestrian Access Routes" leading to and from the Amway Center on the parking website at cityoforlando.net. The pedestrian routes are highlighted on the primary map in light green.

For the more technically-savvy user, a Smartphone app called parkIN’ has been developed and will be available for all Smartphone platforms via  DowntownOrlando.com. From there, Google Maps will be activated and lead you to the Amway Center.
 

Where is disabled (ADA) parking located?

Orlando City Lot 9 has been designated as the primary disabled (ADA) parking area as it is the closest lot to the Amway Center. In addition, ADA parking is available at each of the garages and lots. Just log on to cityoforlando.net to see all of the available parking options and choose which location you would like to park.

Helpful tip: It is recommended to pre-pay for parking so that patrons can reserve a spot in a location of their choice.

Just like a boarding pass, please print out the bar code receipt and bring it with you so it may be displayed for the parking attendant.


Is taking LYMMO an option?
